.'.'-~ - - N,~ ~-. <*::*r~. - - - - -- -.-- i t - CANAUkU UAA~ SDWUAN~EJ~ OTAUUG PDITORIAL Warming Up the Political Pot I f television has done nothing else, Ican be credited with creatmng more interest by Canadians in United States polities than many of us have in our own Canadian elections. This week we are seeing the start of the serlous campaigning as the lead- er of the Democratic party is being selected for the November presidential election. Sornehow, the procedures they follow, unfamiliar to many of us, re- mind us of the early days of hockey televising for the American audience. Announcers go to great lengths to x plain the details of the U.S. political set Up and we listen, fascinated, as Americans must have been intrigued by the intricacies of aur national sport. Compared to our own election cam- paigns on the national or provincial scale, the U.S. presidential campaigns are far more glamorous, more thrilling * and colorful.* While we spend possibly two to three months in intensive polit- ical activity prior te an election, the Americans enjoy a battle for almost a year before they have completed their priniaries, their nati.onal and local con- ventions and so on. As a result, when election day roîls around, almost every- one must be at fever pitch just waiting te get out te vote - or so it seems to us - while in Canada, many of our folks couldn't care Iess about the whole istupid affair, our elections are se ridic- ulous to them. If you should happen to be in the United States during an election year, you will find election talk on almost everybody's lips. There la fno place ln the world that we know of where you can start a political argument qulcker than in many parts of that country. Everyone seems interested and few appear ta be undecided. They are def- initely for somebody and definitely against somebody else. While a presidential election Iu getting into high gear, affairs outside the United States appear to be almost non-existent to rnany Americans. The election is the top news everywhere. Even Cuba's Castro may be able to get away with much more nonsense in ex- propriating American property now than he wauld next January or Feb- ruary when a new president will take office, so he'd better make the most of it quickly. It also appears that Khru- shchev and Mao-Tse-Tung of the Soviet and Red China are also trying to steal the show by an international argument as to which method should be used to destroy the western world. But, they might as well give Up until after the election is over in November, few will be paying any attention on this side of the ocean. Actually, an American presidential election is a wonderful institution that brings out the best and the worst in that great art of politics. We could take a few lessons from them which would resuit in not necessarily better government in our own country, but certainly far more appealing and excit- ing elections. In our last issue we published a repart of a meeting of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority at which the chairman resigned because area councils refused ta back a $50,000 project which the autharity had spon- sored and approved. It was expected that other representatives would follow bis lead, thereby setting the authority back at least a year and possibly longer in its efforts taward improving conser- vation in the district. While everyone, realizes that con- servation is important, it is something that the average persan doesn't worry about too much as. he goes about his daily appointed rounds. Our eyes were opened over the weekend while watch- ing a bit of the Jack Parr show around niidnight. We only wish more people could have seen it. His guest was James Cagney, the long time movie star, who Is now devoting a great deal of time to conservation projects. He was accom- panied by another man whose name escaped us in aur semi-dozing condition. It was nat until he was well into his -tb'pI that we sat up and took notice. It seems that the top 15 ta 18 inches of soul in the world is what keeps every- thing alive, and we have been letting so much of It blow and wash into the lakes and oceans that we are using it up too quickly, and one of these years Retail merchants in the town of ]Renfrew tried an experiment this year which, apparently, worked aut satis- factorily. Instead of closing on Do- mninion Day, July lst, which was a Fni- day and re-opening an Saturday, they stayed open on the holiday and Satur- day and closed on Monday. Local merchants who were in some instances undecided what ta do should read this report received from Publisher Donald W. McCuaig of the Renfrew Advance. "I checked with the chairman of the retail merchants and he reports that from enquiies he made after the holiday, neariy every store was "very happy" about the resuit of the July lst opening. They had a busy day on Thursday and clothing, food, chain and hardware stores were busy Friday and Saturday.1 "One hardware man told me that Often in these columns we have made snide remarks about the parking meters that adorn our main street, but this week we take them all back and only wonder why we didn't take the in- Itiative in installing them ourselves on a commission basis. It seems they really are productive littie gadgets. Three years ago on June 5th, 1957, the town made an agree- ment with Duncan Parking Meters for nome 205 meters at a total cost of EntaibU&ah.d 1854 witb which in ihworprat.d The Bowmanville News Mmhe Nweastl.Independent ornd The Orono News 1O6th Yecrz of Coxtinuous Service to the.

JAMES, ErTOB we just won't have enough goad top soul to support the rapidly increasing population of the world - unless we do samething ta conserve it. Ail of us have read articles on this subject, but every now and then it needs ta be brought home ta us in a forceful way. However, we cannot blame aur councils for objecting, not ta the con- servation need, but rather the method of operation. It was easy for councils ta, agree same time ago that such an organization should be formed. Each of them selected a representative. But, we doubt if they had any idea that with- in only a few months, they would be asked ta contribute ta a $50,000 scheme which could quite easily run into a great deal more money before complet- ed. Councils aren't having that easy a time these days with their finances that they can give carte blanche ta yet an- ather spending organization while they take the criticism for increased taxes. Naturally, they recoiled in horror and many must have said "What have we got ourselves into here?" Possibly, the resignation of the authority's chairman -will bring the en-i tire picture into focus and put the new- ly formed group an a new footing so that in the long run the desired conser- vation end may be accomplished. It is1 far too important a subject ta abandon at this point. the tourists from the U.S. were steady ail day Friday. Friday night is now the busy night in town and it was mostiy a case of 'business as usual'. "The retailers feels that the con- sumer got the best service and store staffs were able ta have a longer holi- day. Only two drug stores closed Fni- day and opened Manday of ail retail stores. Actually, the opposition stem- med from the July 4th or U.S. aspect. Merchants are not necessarily planning the same thing another year, but aren't displeased with the results". Our thanks ta Publisher McCuaig for passing along these findings. The next time a holiday cames an a Friday during the summer Bowmanville mer- chants might well consider the advisa- bility of switching over ta a Monday closing. $16,997.50. Later, it was found exped- ient to purchase a coin caunter at $450, a coin sorter at $300 and a pipe straight- ener at $90, bringing the total ta $1 7,837.50. While we see no entry for the coin collector an wheels that takes the money from the meter, it probably is included in the total expenditure. Well, you will be amazed as we were ta know that in just three years, the town thraugh only 50%7 of monthly collections, has paid off $13,972.27, leav- ing a balance of $3,865.23 which shouid be cleaned Up before the end of 1960. This amount does not include the many dollar fines that have been collected from offenders. Nor does it include an- other $13,972.27, the other 50%7 of col- lections, which went directly into the towns general revenue fund from the meter collections. When the meters are paid for, it foilows that the town should have a profit on them of between $6,000 and $8, 000 a year which, in anybody's fin- ancial dealings is a fair business pro- position. In addition, we would be the first ta admit that they have helped the parking situation. Prior ta their instal- lation, many cars were left ail day along the main street, making it almost im- passible for shoppers ta find a parking space. Now, there is still somne con- gestion, but the meters oertainly do keep the parked cars maving more quickly. Sa, ail in ail, the meters are doing their job and, unlilce many things which most of us have bought in aur time, they really are paying their way.
